The Bluey Movie is a different design.

Should it had stayed 2D animation or is the 3D better?

For real life, the Bluey Movie teaser is officially out, and there's some debate about the style it was created in.  If you recall, the series was hand-drawn 2D animation; it was short. To the point, it was popular with both kids and adults however when the trailer came out or should I say the teaser trailer not many parents like the new design it was 3D this could be because of the detail the characters were showing you can clearly see the fur how it moves mostly on the chest the teeth were clear you were able to tell the different sizes of the teeth.

Comparing TV show to teaser trailer

To be clear, wasn’t Bluey developed for children? I'll admit it now: I'm 44 years old. I love Bluey; in fact, sometimes in my spare time I'll watch an episode either by myself or with my daughter, who is 4 1/2 years old. We laugh; we talk about the episode, what's in the background, what they're doing. I even asked my daughter, when I showed her the trailer, if she wanted to see it; she said yes, and she laughed.  I was a little concerned: what if she doesn't want to see it because it looks different?

This kind of issue brings back two different situations does anyone remember the incident about “Blippi live on stage” only to find out that the individual that was going to be on stage were going was going to be someone else, I found the article on Buzz feed News printed on 10/9/2019 by Buzzfeed News report Katie Notopoulos, this was confirmed after parents had purchased tickets only to then demand a refund because they were not going to see the original but some stranger dressed as Blippi.  You can read the article if you wish by clicking the link below.

The other issue that I've noticed is that some parents are complaining about the new design and are demanding a remake. Gee, sound familiar? This happened with a very popular video game-turned-movie hedgehog named Sonic.

Unlike Bluey, Sonic is targeted to teenagers and 90s adults.  So the complaint was valid. An article about the complaint from multiple fans of the film Sonic the Hedgehog claimed he looked very distorted and nothing like the character. This was mostly because it was live action; only Sonic was CGI. He looked creepy, so what did the director do? He listened to the fans, pulled the movie out, redid everything, and it's a good thing he listened.  Click the link below to see the two different trailers side by side, and what's your opinion on it?

However, Bluey isn't live action, and thank God it isn't.  Because then it really would go past ugly. The film isn’t released yet, so far I have read on social media that some people will boycott it because of the design, while others don’t care and will see it with the youngsters.  After that, I'm sure the Movie critics on Rotten Tomatoes will give their two cents on the film.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion about a certain object, or in this case, a film that started as a TV show. Still, I'll be honest: so far, the only complainers I've heard are grown-ups, and as I mentioned earlier, Bluey was designed for kids and can be a bit for adults. Still, its main target was kids, so to hear that grown-ups are the only ones complaining about it and not kids, well, it raises some concern, but then again, that's just my opinion, so let me ask you: should the design chosen for it stay, or should they change it?
